SECURITY
Introduction
Each service that the server provides can be configured to require the following:
Authorization:
the server operator must acknowledge all
connection attempts before a connection is established.
Authentication:
the server requires a Personal Identification
Number code (PIN, also referred to as a “passkey”) or a Link Key
before a connection is established.
Encryption:
all data sent between the Bluetooth client and
Bluetooth server is encrypted. The encryption key is based on the
Authentication Link Key. Encryption requires that Authentication
be enabled.
All three – Authorization, Authentication, and Encryption – are
disabled
by default. Devices can
also be paired, a process that eliminates the need to enter a PIN code each time access is
attempted.
Authentication
Authentication is used to verify identity. It requires a passkey or Link
Key from the remote device.
When a remote device attempts access to a unit, a visual and/or audio warning notifies the local
operator of the invitation.
The local operator can open a dialog box that provides:
1. The user-friendly name of the device attempting access.
2. A place for the local operator to enter a Bluetooth passkey.
The operator of the remote system must then enter the identical passkey. If no passkey is
supplied or if the notification is ignored after a preset timeout, access will be denied. In cases
wherein devices are paired, those devices automatically exchange a Link Key and authentication
is carried out without operator intervention.
